Today we have a SPECIAL FEATURE ITEM just because I can’t wait until next Thursday to show you this.

The best part of my job is not knowing what is going to come through our door on any given day. Yesterday this pair of 1968 Schwinn sky blue girls and boy’s bikes came in. The boy’s bike is a Typhoon Deluxe, the girl’s bike is a Hollywood Deluxe. Both have the early (no reflector) headlight and front racks. The girl’s bike also has a basket on the front rack. The condition of these two bikes is incredible and are 99.9% original. Other than a few small dings they look like they just came off the showroom floor. Once I tell the story of these bikes you will understand why they are in the shape they are in and are such a time capsule.

They were purchased together in 1968 by a newlywed couple on their honeymoon. After riding them a couple of times, they decided that riding bikes was something they really didn’t like, and they put them away in an enclosed porch. Now, fast forward 54 years, in the fall of 2022 they were pulled from that enclosed porch where they stayed untouched. They were wiped down and completely gone through. The bearings were regreased, and new tires were put on. Everything (except the tires) is original right down to the chain.

You will never find another pair of bikes in this untouched condition. Since they were purchased together and have been together all these years, we are selling them as a pair. Also included is an original 1968 Schwinn Bicycle catalog.
